I've got some intriguing news for you visual novel fans! CLEAR RAVE just dropped the announcement for Resequence: The Orchard, and it looks like it's going to be a wild ride into occult horror. Set to launch on PC via Steam in 2026, it's definitely one to keep on your radar. I'm really excited about this one, especially since I'm a big fan of the genre.

The game will initially support English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, which is great for accessibility. Hopefully, they'll add more languages down the line. I always appreciate when developers think about global audiences.

What's the game about? Well, according to the Steam page, Resequence: The Orchard is a multi-perspective occult-horror adventure. It's all about an otherworldly presence that's slowly messing with everyday life. You'll be playing as Kisuke Saito, trying to figure out what happened to the students and uncover the truth behind his missing wife. Sounds like a heavy plot, right?

Given the details, I think the story is a key aspect here. You advance by clicking through dialogue and making choices, which then influence the narrative.

The game features more than five characters, each with their own unique story, and your decisions affect how their stories play out. I always enjoy games where your choices really matter, so I'm eager to see how this one handles it. It sounds like it will have quite the replayability, which is something I value as a player.

If you're even remotely interested, I suggest you watch the teaser trailer. If you're into chilling stories, it might be for you.
